    I would think people would interpret it as you being "ignorant." They are pretty distinguishable, to me at least. I guess if you’re American and have some sort of political savvy, then if you made that mistake it would imply that all black people look alike to you.

    It could just be construed as being truly ignorant, as in not knowing if you are American but don’t know the name of the Vice-President (politically retarded in other words) or your are from a foreign country and don’t follow international politics too closely.

    A little bit.

  3. 平和と愛 says:

    No, it’s just a little weird because they look nothing alike.

  4. Tigress says:

    They don’t mirror each other in the least!

  5. Brytney says:

    Kinda, but it’s just like looking at Sarah Palin and saying, "Oh look, it’s Tina Fey!"

  6. Jimmy D says:

    no. if they looks similar, how is it racist? so they have a similar skin tone. what if you confused someone because of their hair? is that racist as well? people are too sensitive these days.

  7. cutiePi says:

    yea because they look TOTALLY different

    it’s as though you really aren’t looking at them..just their skin color

    that is like me looking at the only 2 whites in any organization and mistaking them for each other just because they are white(not because they actually look alike)

    Now i’m not gonna lie, many whites look VERY similar..i can tell the difference between them, but some look like they could pass for family members..
    I think whites look more alike than any racial group actually

  8. The Best Troll says:

    Not racist just kind of stupid because they look nothing alike.

  9. smart n sassy says:

    No b/c racism means you feel superior to other people different from yourself.

    Saying that all black people look alike is just ignorant.

    Condoleeza Rice probably would be offended, and she is also 10 years older than Michelle.

    Lol, no. Of course thats not racist. People look alike all the time. There’s only so many different variations of faces human beings can have, sooner or later you’ll always find someone who looks alike, whether they’re from the same race or not. I myself am forever noticing black people who look like each other or asian people who like like each other or white people who look like asians and so on. People just look alike, especially if it’s just first glance and you aren’t looking too closely.

    No not at all.

  12. Mark says:

    It’s not "racist"; it’s just STUPID…

    Uh…no but I just don’t think they look anything alike?
